  • holding that appellant attempted to cause bodily injury to police officer who was arresting him when he flailed his arms and struck the officer repeatedly
  • concluding that defendant’s action of throwing a police officer to the ground and striking the officer on the arm and mouth was sufficient to support conviction under section 2707(a)(3)

  • noting that “[t]he plurality in McCree favored the “Baker/Rodriguez standard . . . allow[ing] warrantless searches where officers” have no particular knowledge regarding the subject vehicle
  • holding evidence was sufficient to establish the attempt to cause bodily injury to a police officer where Brown flailed his arms, repeatedly striking the officer on the arm, shoulder, and mouth
